Cinema is tailor-made for grandness—of scope, of scale, of stakes, of spectacle, and of emotion—and Project Hail Mary embraces that strength with a masterfulness that’s all too rare in today’s modern multiplex landscape.
Adapted from Andy Weir’s novel of the same name, Phil Lord and Christopher Miller’s IMAX-sized film is science fiction that, like Weir’s prior The Martian, emphasizes science, even as it races to the far reaches of the galaxy, where baffling mysteries and unexpected entities reside. With a first-rate Ryan Gosling at the helm of this interstellar odyssey, it’s a stirring celebration of bravery, camaraderie, and human ingenuity that goes big in every respect, not least of which by recognizing and foregrounding the majesty of larger-than-life movie stardom.
